Pimpin is as pimpin does

Setting my brother up with 2 new front tires today.

Go to the local "Discount" tire shop.

Specify, we need 2 new FRONT tires, and one is in the trunk due to a hole.

Driving around doing errands, he gets a call.

They want to replace the back 2 as well.

We say NO, just put the new ones on the front, and leave the old ones on the back.

We show up, and they put the new ones on the back.

I point out we specified twice that we did not want to do that. They start slanging some bull spit about better safety with the drive wheels having the worse tires, and trying to sell instead of fix.

I said, "How many times do I have to tell you no, before this conversation is over?"

Throw out a little, "Thanks for the one time ever business. Hope your day gets better."

Manager starts following us out to the parking lot. Now, I'm assured everyone else in the store is watching. He tries to spew his bull spit again. Manager tries to throw in 1 free tire if we buy another.

I said, "Man, I've been turning wrenches between 15 and 20 years now. Don't pull that with me, we're done here. You had your chance to do the job as I requested, and specified when we were called and asked about it. Now, it's too late."

Manager follows us to the parking lot. Now, he offers up 2 free tires if we let him make it right. Notes that he has to get one from another store, but it will be done within a couple of hours.  Obviously, I'm already heated, but turn to my brother, and he gives the Goodfella shrug.

I bring up, this was my last piece before heading out to KC, and I needed the family in a solid pair of new tires. He again offers 100% free pair of matching tires, and the time line.

I give the "Alright Man," and hand him back the keys/paperwork.

He offers a handshake on it. I hesitate just enough, and take it.

Brother and I get back into the rental. Check manager's out of sight, and do the "AHHH yeah, that's how it's done SON!"
